The medium-term trend structure in Gold is unchanged and remains bullish. This is reinforced by moving average studies that are in a bull-mode position. Near-term, a continued push higher would refocus attention on $2431.50, the Apr 12 high and bull trigger. A bearish theme in WTI futures remains intact and the current consolidation phase appears to be a pause in the trend. Price has recently breached the 50-day EMA, strengthening a short-term bearish set-up that highlights potential for a deeper correction.
